Kamal directs the QUEST (QUantum Engineering Science and Technology) group, developing theory for quantum-limited readout of superconducting circuits: nonreciprocal parametric (Josephson-junction) amplifiers, left-handed-metamaterial traveling-wave amplifiers, and autonomous entanglement stabilization/error-correction protocols. Her work sets the fundamental noise limits that superconducting-qubit-based quantum sensors and quantum computers can approach, in close collaboration with experimental groups at NIST Boulder and elsewhere. The group is actively recruiting postdoctoral scholars.
